THERE was very general feeling yester
day that the Sentinels attack on the Supreme
Court had placed the paper in contempt, and
that it should be proceeded against. Public
opinion accords large license to the press, but
there is limit even to license. It is one
thing to critcse the decision of court in
proper spirit, and quite another to denounce
its motives in terms calculated to bring the
court into public contempt. The people do
not regard the courts as infallible, but there
is, withal, a deep-seated sentiment of respect
for them, and feeling that their authority
and dignity must be maintained.
AS to what kind of publication constitutes
contempt of court. Bishop, in his work on
Criminal Law, vol. 2, p 25S, says: '.Ac-
cording to the general doctrine, any publica-
ton, whether by parties or strangers. relating
to cause in court, tending to prejudice the
public as to its merits and to corrupt or en-
barrass the administration of justice, or re-
fecting on the tribunal or its proceedings,
may be visited as a contempt. In
general it is only necessary in point of law that
the cause should be pending"
Another writer, Rapalje on Contempts, says:
"Any publication, pending suit, rejecting
on the court, is a contempt of court" The
same authority says, p. 10: cit is contempt
to publish remarks in a newspaper which have
tendency to prejudice the public with re-
spect to the merits of cause depending in
court" The Sentinel's publication falls
within this definition. It reflected upon the
court and related to a cause still pending as
under the law a petition for rehearing may be
| filed within sixty days. But it is not proba-
bic the court will take any action against the
Sentinel for CONTEMPT.

STATE LEGISLATURES,

A Pennsylvania paper makes the following
remark:
1.-THE Legislature meets to-day, and Harris
burg Is happy. Some time in the more or less
distant future it will adjourn, and then the
rest Of the State will be happy"
Paragraphs of would be facetious char
acter like the above are afoat concerning the
General Assemblies Of various States and
are occasionally directed at the national Con-
gress. Such utterances are in very bad taste
even in funny column. It occasionally
happens that Legislature does no particular
is elected to consider but until such body
proves itself incompetent it is entitled to
respectful treatment AS rule, legislators
are chosen because of belief that they
can and will properly represent their
respective districts, and it is the exception
when one fails to fulfill his duties
in this respect OF the expectations
formed of him. Idle talk of the sort quoted
creates a contrary impression among thought
less people, and, in particular, causes the
youth Of the period to look lightly upon an
important part of the governmental system
1t is essential to the American idea of self
government that its methods should not fall
into disrepute, and there can be no question
that this tendency to belittle the members of
legislative assemblies must lower the dignity
and standing Of the bodies to level with
town councils or police board meetings. 1t is
innocuous desuetude, and that for the sake of
the State, if not their own, the peoples rep
resentatives were treated with respect as the
honest, honorable gentlemen the majority OF
them are.
